Airfix English Electric Lightning F6 Paint 1/72 scale 2014 NEW TOOL 

Great kit of an iconic British jet! Great build too

Just got back into the hobby after a lay-off of some 30 Years! Your video's have been a priceless asset to me. A 'Go To' guide to get me started again. Nice build of 'John Spencers' Lightning F.Mk.6 - I must concur with someones comment that this variant did not have guns in the nose like the F.Mk.2A. Two 30mm Aden Canons sat in front of the ventral tank pack. Excellent work though... Keep the vids coming :-)

great work! enjoied this build very much

as has been said no upper guns on a mk6 and LTF quite often flew with a fuel pack rather than guns. Just to add they only had one mk6, the rest were T5 and Mk 3.

Damn fine work! I like how random panels are a different color, avoiding a boring looking gray bird! The weathering looks quite realistic and I'm guessing this was a jet from a quick reaction squadron.

Ageing beginner so I'm catching up with channels and yours is opening my old eyes wonderfully. I have a T something or other Lightning twin crew by Sword in my stash. Your video is invaluable, thank you.

Great shading and subtle details.

Nice one thanks for that I will have a look through some of my fishing weights to see what I have got.

Brilliant build and painting there,and what about awesome finish as well ,definitely looking forward to the Gloster Meteor thanks for Sharing kutgw

Now this is a fantastic peace of work mate!

Superb workmanship

superb model making your airbrushing and attention to detail is amazing

Found my new favorite youtube channel

very nice work. looks great.

the best technique of painting model

Sincerely, you did a masterpiece from this nice kit. Your airbrush touch is incredible. So accurate and professional... An impressive tribute to the most iconic english fighter after the Spitfire. Thanks for this demonstration of art. (i apologize again about my seedy english... i refuse to use automatic translators... ) :)))

Nicely done moodel well done

That is seriously neat and tidy work. Great paint finish, pre shading and decalling very well done. In terms of the Meteor I think the 111 Squadron looks has more interesting scheme. I like the contrast of the yellow tail with the camo pattern.

A great jib on an excellent kit.

Absolutely awesome. Loved every minute of watching the video. Incidentally can go tell me what the music is that you used.Thanks again for posting this.

Brilliant workmanship..

Great build and paint enjoyed it very much. One question did you have to put any weight in the nose to prevent tail sitting?

I have got the decals for 56 Squadron and 111 Squadron, that's what I'm going build my Lightning's as. Oh and 111 Squadron did fly two F.6's if I remember right. We use to see them flying around Stowmarket all the time as Wattisham was just up the road.

Cool!👍✈️

Awesome build there. Beautiful Lightning. Did you deliberately leave the pitot tube out of the final shots?

Great video. Great model. Can you tell me where the music comes from?

Fab work as always! Let down by whoever told you RAF F6's had nose guns!!! Only RAF Germany F2A's had those!

Tip to make your masking tape last longer: tear or cut it in half lengthwise. You then have two straight edges from same length of tape.

Fastest Jet We Ever manufactured. A True Silver-Bullet.

Great build and finish but where's the pitot probe gone?

Brilliant

AWESOME ! Hey....got a quick story. and a question or 2. I'm 57 and when I was 25 I was the manager of a hobbyshop here in Lower Bucks Co,,PA. for 2.5 years.Back then I dabbled in plastic models but dropped that for RC Airplanes and haven't built another kit since.Back then I didn't have ANY bills / overhead so every paycheck I'd buy 1-5 models per week for 2.5 years. Needless to say I now have a shit load of unbuilt models in the original boxes.. Most of the models are cars but I still have a lot of military jet aircraft. The cars don't do anything for me now but the aircraft models I'm getting the itch to start up all over again. I have to start from scratch cuz I have no air compressor airbrush, paints, tools or anything. All I have are the models.So I have a goal to start investing in the equipmentet and pick up where I left off over 30 years ago.. Ok that's that. The 1 question I have is this. Why do you pre- paint the body panel seams with black when your going to paint over it ? I'm assuming its for depth and shadowing effect .Depending on the color, I'm not sure you can even tell that you painted the seams after you put the regular coat over. I'm only going by what I see on my screen I never saw a model up close in personl that's been painted like that. #2 What are the "go to" paints no a days ? Testers, Tamiya, Humbrol ? One more question are there companies that sell aftermarket diecast landing gear for 172nd scale aircraft cuz I have a problem with my older models with the landing gear snap off cuz they're weak or the glue is dried out. Thanks, Howard H.

Замечательно. Отличный самолёт.

Absolutely fantastic. Some great masking and painting. I have been looking for a tutorial like this for months. I have this model to build so you have given me some great tips as its about thirty two years since I last built a model, especially a Lightning (the best aircraft that ever flew). How much weight did you use in the front to prevent it from tail sitting? Thanks again for sharing and keep up the good work. Mark. UK

cool

Hi really nice model great video. Can I ask what masking tape you use?

Hi, I see a lot of your videos, I learn a lot. I build models in 1:72. I wanted to ask you what kind of masking tape you use. Greetings and thanks

hi man, I'd like to ask you a couple of questions: I wasn't able to understand which color you're been using as postshading (letters covered by the wings colour background) and the one you used for the final touch (dark stripes along the rear and near the nose). Thanks Giuseppe from italy

Que marca es el masking tape que usas?? Y no levanta la pintúra? Salúdos 👍👌

What airbrush and and what psi do you use pal? great work :)

What skill level is required for the spay gun? It looks pretty high

Great build.. Awesom work., but I have to ask.. What are you doing at 13:38? Wht did you smear on and are you trying to rub off?

Sorry to ask but why do you spray the lines in the first bit? They just seem to get painted over. I'm not a model maker but enjoy these videos and was just wondering.

What PSI do you use to spray on the clear coat?

What colors di you use? Vera beautifull

What does it mean when a set has a new tool?

what paints you use, if it's not secret

Great video. What is music please.

Excelente trabajo 👌👏 Que marca de masking tape usas? Se parece ala marca 3M Saludos desde Puebla-Mex.

Nice model, it’s a pity you didn’t fill the upper nose gun ports, you said the plain ones broke when you tried to remove them from the spruce, having four gun ports spoils the look of the model.

I am not a master but you forgot the antiglare under the canopy front

Ever thought about building the Firefox MIG-31 www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234913880-anigrand-1-72-mig-31-firefox-finished/

Nice model, but you really need to research what your building and look at the instructions F6 with upper guns and the wings on the Redtops the wrong way around.
